Well as per this Pakistani source 2nd June, M. Kamal seek apology for delay and stated,

Quote:

“To my knowledge, players and staff have been paid but there are some payments still outstanding. If any players or coaching staff have not been paid then they need to contact the organisers as soon as possible. The fact is that we have held such a tournament for the first time and the delays have been due to the required clearance from the Government, primarily due to 2 reasons. The first is one is the fact that these are foreign currency payments for which special clearance is required. The other reason is that there are tax considerations for all international players involved in BPL"

"I apologize for any delays due to some issues but looking to the next edition of the BPL, it’s the BCB that will sign the contracts with players directly and the payments will be made promptly on the due date without a problem.”

There are heaps of talent out there who deserve a chance.. We on the other hand would have made him the next big thing

Higher scale for foreigh players again. This self inflicted inferiority complex should go. I understand that local players might not be worth more than foreigners on average. But let the freakin market/ aution decide that. What's the point of an auction then? Only in Bangladesh do you racism on its own people!

We should write a petition to BCB to get rid of this two scale system for foreigners and locals. It an be demoralizing for local players.
